Hello to George and the group, re: Mil.

Mil in this case is a milli-radian, where a radian is 180 degrees/Pi, or a
little over 57 degrees. Rather than personally wander around, I recommend
theses URL's as starters:

<A HREF="http://www.boomershoot.org/general/mils.htm">http://www.boomershoot.org/general/mils.htm>

<A HREF="http://www.snipercountry.com/mil-moa.html">http://www.snipercountry.com/mil-moa.html>

Besides the unfamiliarity for many people of the use of the mil, there are
slightly different mil values at work, as I found out after recently after
purchasing a peep-sight alidade on EBAY. (Checking whether the graduations
are in standard or military mils) Hope the websites are a step towards
clarification; they helped me. But I'm still looking & learning when I have
time.

Marvin
